When Ji Shen heard this, he naturally ordered to pass it on.

The chamberlain retreated, and after a while, Gu Changfu led Mu Qi in, and before he leaned over to bow down, Ji Shen and Mu Biwei were both taken aback - Mu Qi's age was much less than that of the first emperor Ruizong, and now it is not yet the mandate of heaven, because of inheriting the will of his ancestors and learning bow and horses at a young age, he is not old, and he is also a person with outstanding demeanor in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, but he doesn't want to see this now, but he seems to be more than ten years old!

Mu Biwei only felt that her nose was sour, and she knew that her eyes must be red again if she didn't look at it.

Ji Shen was also surprised to be exempted, and seeing that Mu Qi was haggard, he hurriedly gave him a seat, and then asked, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how did Mu Qing get like this?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and the minister's heart is uneasy." Mu Qi reluctantly replied, clearly lacking in qi, and said, "At the beginning, the minister lost the Xuelan Pass, and was forgiven by His Majesty's grace, and the vassal was the Yin of the Qing Capital, and the minister felt more and more guilty, so that he dreamed back to the Xuelan Pass every night, and the ministers were incompetent, and during this period of time, the ministers couldn't sleep, and they couldn't eat and drink......

Ji Shen frowned and said: "The so-called victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, Mu Qing's fault, I have already been punished, why should I blame myself so much?" ”

Mu Biwei bit her lip and was silent, only to hear Mu Qi sigh, and arched her hand again: "More than that-Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to ask to see him today, because he dreamed of his ancestors yesterday." ”

"If Mu Qing feels that the affairs of Qingdu County are difficult to get started for a while, how about I order the Ministry of Officials to be exempted from this year's assessment?" Ji Shen is the emperor, seeing that Mu Qi even brought out the ancestors, he also guessed a few points about his intentions, he actually has no ill feelings towards Mu Qi, after all, Mu Qi invited himself to stay on the side many years ago, in addition to meeting a few times by chance when he was a child, the last time he met was the death of the first emperor, Mu Qi returned to Ye to mourn, that time Mu Qi was worried about the snow blue pass, came and went in a hurry, and when he faced the saint, he only showed his loyalty to the new emperor as usual.

Compared with the left and right prime ministers and ministers of the court who were close to him and were entrusted by the former emperor Ruizong, Mu Qi was far away, and he was a military general, and he had never spoken against Ji Shen, Ji Shen wanted to kill him in the past, but also because of He's sake, now Mu Biwei has become a new favorite, of course Ji Shen loves the house and Wu - not to mention that the assessment of the officials is not a big deal in Ji Shen's eyes, Qingdu County is an important town in Gyeonggi, and it has always been well governed, even if Mu Qi doesn't understand anything, he can't make any big mistakes according to the example of his predecessor.

I don't want Mu Qi to listen to Ji Shen's words but shook his head and said: "Your Majesty Xie is considerate, it's just that the governance of Qingdu County has long had an old system, and the former county Yin left a lot of experience before leaving office, although the minister is not talented, he does not dare to live up to the holy grace!" Shi Naichen was reprimanded by his ancestors in his dream, and he was worried about the Snow Blue Pass! ”

Mu Biwei was anxious when she heard this, she thought that Mu Qi was here for Mu Bichuan's marriage, and she still had some hope in her heart, but she didn't want Mu Qi to resign or ask herself to continue to stay on the side? No matter which one it is, Mu Biwei doesn't agree with it in his heart, the Mu family is thin, Mu Bicheng is young, and he is still studying and practicing martial arts at home, and he has to wait for the opportunity to enter the office, Mu Bichuan has not yet married, even if he is married to the third lady of the He family, he also needs to support him for a while after marriage, and now the Mu family can rely on Mu Qi to support here!

Whether Mu Qi resigns or continues to leave Yedu, it will make Mu Bichuan fall into a situation where there is no one to rely on in Yedu, especially Mu Bichuan's Yue family still needs to rely on the Mu family!

Even though Mu Qi brought Mu Bichuan to the Snow Blue Pass in the past, but after experiencing the Snow Blue Pass once, not to mention that Shen Taijun will definitely not be able to rest assured, even Mu Biwei himself would rather this only half-brother suffer in the officialdom of Yedu, it is better than the border pass sword without eyes!

Of course, with her current favor, she must be able to say a few words for Mu Bichuan, at least if she wants to embarrass Mu Bichuan in the assessment of the officials, she can ease her cheeks, but even the Sun family and other national colors are still worried about the day when they are old, since ancient times, how many concubines can be favored for a lifetime?

Ji Shen also heard that Mu Qi's intention to resign from Qingdu County Yin was very firm, and he was surprised: "What is Mu Qing's plan?" ”

Mu Qi left the table without hesitation, knelt down and said, "Please ask Your Majesty to resign from the post of Qingdu County Yin and go to Xuelan Pass again!" The minister knows that although His Majesty forgives him for the crime of losing the customs last time, it is difficult to redeem the serious crime, so he does not dare to return to the general, and is willing to go to the border with a pawn! Although the minister has been sluggish since childhood, he does not dare or forget the will of his ancestors, and there are still some bow and horse martial arts, even if he dies in battle, he is also dead! ”

"I heard that Mu Qing was about to hire a bride for his eldest son recently, and suddenly entered the palace to ask for the return of Xuelan Pass, could it be related to this matter?" Ji Shen groaned for a moment and asked rhetorically.

Mu Qi was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that Mu Bichuan's marriage to a wife had been stabbed in front of the palace, but he didn't know who had passed on this word, and said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the minister's dream at night, so I came to ask Your Majesty for permission, but it has nothing to do with Xiao'er marrying a wife." ”

Ji Shen said unhappily: "Even so, Qing will marry a woman, and Mu Qingyi also said that the Mu family must be busy recently, and I even wanted to call my daughter into the palace to accompany Qingyi for a while, why did Qing still leave Yedu at this eye joint?" ”

"This ...... The minister ...... "Mu Qi didn't expect Mu Biwei's previous words to dismantle his platform at this time, and he was suddenly speechless.

"Why does Mu Qing refuse to continue to serve as the governor of Qingdu County?" Ji Shen is a master who is not diligent in government, but as an emperor, he can't help but care about the stability of his throne, which is why he didn't know how many times he scolded Jiang Thief and Ji Thief behind his back, but he still didn't really move these two people, after all, Ji Shen himself also knew that if there was no prime minister to take care of the government for him, it would be impossible for him to have fun all day long without asking about the government - Jiang Yao and Ji Jian were Ruizong's deathbed ministers, and they were also praised when they were in Gaozu, in addition to making Ji Shen tired of every admonition, in terms of loyalty, Ji Shen still believes it.

The most important thing is that although the Jiang and Ji families are also Yedu clans, they have nothing to do with the harem of the three dynasties since Gaozu.

Because Ruizong was in a hurry, Mu Qi was still on the way back to the capital at that time, Ruizong still trusted this companion who was not in the prosperity of Ye Du and invited himself to be stationed in the country, plus Mu Qi was in the prime of life, and he also said a few good words in front of Ji Shen.

Therefore, this will Mu Qi blindly resigned, Ji Shen naturally thought about whether he had suffered something in Qingdu County, not only him, Mu Biwei also thought so, and was listening to the following with his ears pricked up, no matter who fell into the well like this, if there was a chance, he had to sue Ji Shen well!

Who wants Mu Qi to shake his head and say: "The minister has been in the Snow Blue Pass for a long time, this time because of the loss of the pass, if you can't wash away the shame of the past, it will be difficult to look at this life until death, please ask Your Majesty for permission!" ”

Speaking of which, anyone can see the resoluteness of this intention, Ji Shenwu said unbelievably: "Mu Qing's appointment in Qingdu County is my order, if anyone dares to embarrass Mu Qing in private, it is against me!" Now there is no one else in the cabinet, but I and Qing are related to each other, so you might as well speak up if you have any difficulties! ”

He is actually not very interested in where Mu Qi is serving, only a few days ago, Nie Yuansheng entered the palace and proposed the official position of the children related to the Qu and Gao families, Ji Shen trusts Nie Yuansheng very much, and now he is very dissatisfied with the Yedu clan, which will Mu Qi come over to resign, he naturally wants to think about whether the Yedu clan even dares to bully the people he personally appointed!

Mu Qi said: "Your Majesty favors the minister, and the minister's death is difficult to repay, but the minister does not have any difficulties, but I hope for shame!" ”

Mu Bi's eyes widened slightly!

She didn't believe it!

Although Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan are both square people, they also learned the art of war, not blindly moving forward and not knowing how to be flexible, this time the Snow Blue Pass was lost, and Mu Biwei entered the palace before being transferred back to Yedu, Qingdu County is an important town in Gyeonggi, which is convenient for supporting Shen Taijun Not to mention - Mu Qi is now only two sons under his knees, and the eldest son of whom's family is the top priority, this time Mu Bichuan married the third lady of the He family, I am afraid that I can't even bear the responsibility of the grave woman, not to mention counting on the Yue family to support some Mu Bichuan after marriage, So there is another way for him to go to Xuelan Pass......

Thinking of this, Mu Bi's heart skipped a beat, could it be ...... Mu Qi is thinking of going back to break the marriage contract with the He family?

After all, the Mu family will already carry the name of a woman to get rid of the crime, if you add another backtrack, the reputation of the family is really a mess, after all, for the important ministers of the court, the sacrifice of the woman is not made by Mu Qi and Mu Bichuan, these two people are in prison, the old and young of the Mu family, not to mention that the people are so thin, Shen Taijun is worried about the children and grandchildren, and it is inevitable that a woman's family will do something bad - and Concubine He is arrogant and cruel to the border generals, and the courtiers are not unsympathetic.

But it backtracked...... The object is still the third lady of the He family, the sister of Concubine He, and when it spreads out like this, public opinion will all be biased towards the unfavorable side of the Mu family.

Mu Bichuan sighed in his heart, Mu Bichuan's move, I am afraid that no one agrees except for his own assumption of approval, and Xu's private happiness, no wonder Mu Qi wants to turn such a big circle......

I only heard Ji Shen and said helplessly: "Xuelan Pass has now been taken over by the Baling Army, and its guard Ni Zhen is a subordinate of Qing, how dare Ni Zhen go as a pawn?" ”

Mu Qi couldn't help but suffocate when he heard this, and then continued to plead: "If the minister can't do this, he can't close his eyes even if he dies, and he also asks His Majesty for benevolence and grace. ”

This is really not want to stay in Yedu? Even if you retreat as advance, it is impossible to talk to this point!

Mu Bi was so angry that her body trembled slightly, and she quickly thought about what had forced Mu Qi to this point?
